There are still a couple of prospect lists that still to come. John Sickels list should be coming in the next week or so, and Baseball America is still a ways away. Once they are all in (Tigstown and Baseball Prospectus have already completed their Tigers lists) I’ll aggregate the results into a consensus top 10 list.

As a side note, Gorkys Hernandez who is now with the Braves, just missed the list and checked in at 53. As for the rest of the AL Central, the Royals had 2 players on the list. But the Indians, White Sox and Twins combined to have 2 players in the top 50.

I love following prospects — all of them, not just Tigers prospects — and I won’t lie; that list is probably the worst list I’ve seen. And the worst thing is that it’s a poll of some scouts, some non-scouts. Honestly, having Maybin ahead of Colby Rasmus — and by 4 spots — is pretty ridiculous. Same draft class and Colby’s been better at every level.

Oh, and Adam Miller in the top 10 on a prospect list, still, confirms said terrible-ness. Which is upsetting, ’cause Johnathan Mayo’s name is attached to it and I don’t think they reflect his views (he didn’t vote on it, just presented/narrated the video that goes along with it).

Dave T. – Yes. That’s the nice thing about the lists Kevin Goldstein does for BaseballProspectus. After he does the prospects, he shows where the major leaguers who are under 25 would fit in.

I don’t subscribe to BP, so I’m just going to make a guess that Miller’s 3rd on the list, Matt? Likely the lone 4-star guy on the list, right?

I would imagine that Miller rates better than that. He has bigtime movement on a mid 90s fastball, a dominant slider, and a change. He’s 6’6″ and a lefty. That sounds more like a 5 star guy than a 4 star. He’s been a projected ace since his sophomore year. Don’t forget about him because he had a few forgettable performances last year.
